TitleProfessional Development Opportunity for Secondary Teachers
Body
From: "Maki Watanabe"

I am sorry that this is only for teachers in Alabama, California, Indiana,Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Texas and West Virginia in the U.S. But I believe that it will be a great advocacy opportunity to promote importance of learning Japanese to and gain more supports from your colleagues teaching other than Japanese language, such as social studies, fine arts, geography and so on.

I'd appreciate it if you could hand this information to your colleagues and any other teachers in the above mentioned states who are not familiar with Japan.

Thank you,
Watanabe
